Between the Devil and the Blue Sea

Entidades Organizadoras

What divides us and what unites us? How can people of all races live with the shadow of their cultures? Repression or political domination? The photographer Pieter Hugo (1976, Johannesburg), raised in postcolonial South Africa where he witnessed the official end of apartheid in 1994, is especially interested in capturing with his camera all social dissonances, not only in his native country, but also in places such as Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana and China. He is particularly interested in the subcultures of society, in the gap between the ideal and reality. Pieter Hugo explores all these aspects in his portraits, in everyday scenes and in his landscapes.
